Book Description

Publication Date: September 7, 2002

Today's liberated lifestyle has made room for a whole new set of relationships -- older women dating younger men.

She's confident, stylish, sophisticated and sexy, and she knows exactly what she wants -- hot young men and lots of great sex! She's not interested in children or commitment. She's a cougar, and she's on the prowl.

In Cougar: A Guide for Older Women Dating Younger Men, sex and relationships columnist Valerie Gibson takes the reader on a witty romp through all the excitement, satisfaction, drawbacks and pitfalls of dating younger men. Above all, she reminds readers that being a cougar is liberating, empowering and almost illegally fun. From hiding figure flaws during sex to surviving or avoiding a meeting with his (sometimes close-to-the-same age) mother, Cougar is packed with invaluable advice for today's single woman -- whatever her age.

1.0 out of 5 stars Cliche and useless, July 5, 2009

bluepearl - See all my reviews

This review is from: Cougar: A Guide for Older Women Dating Younger Men (Paperback)

This book is heavily based on stereotypes of older women and younger men. There isn't any useful information here for women or men. Nothing in the book is new, interesting, or fun.

This review is from: Cougar: A Guide For Older Women Dating Younger Men (Paperback)

A little too "pouncy", but really an interesting concept. I loved her self confidence! However, would like to have read about we older pre-cronehood cougars who don't look our age ect.

2.0 out of 5 stars Go get a pedicure, August 22, 2008

Donna - See all my reviews

This review is from: Cougar: A Guide for Older Women Dating Younger Men (Paperback)

I've dated several younger men, and this book was very much a disappointment, and bordering on insulting at times. The author tries to use a humorous take on the subject, but does not succeed. Save the $[...] and get a pedicure instead.
